Fill up vacancies in Courts
Since there is a huge pendency of cases in Supreme Court and all High
courts, it is absolutely necessary to at least fill up the vacancies
, as a first step and there should be a well considered plan to increase
the number of benches and number of judges so that justice is done speedily
which is every citizen's right.

Action taken on sexual harassment complaint
Copy of enquiry report and action taken report on appellant's
complaint pertaining to sexual harassment to his wife at work
place was sought. The respondent informed that the information
sought could not be provided under the provisions of Section 8(1)(h)
of the RTI Act as the disclosure of information at that point
of time would impede the process of investigation. Subsequently,
the SBI informed that an inquiry by the Internal Committee constituted
under Sexual Harassment Committee was conducted and the Committee's
report and the findings of the Committee had already been communicated
to the wife of the appellant. They further added that as per Section
16 of Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition
and Redressal) Act, 2013 the contents of the complaint made, the
identity and addresses of the aggrieved woman, respondent and
witnesses, any information relating to conciliation and inquiry
proceedings, recommendations of the Internal Committee or the
Local Committee and the action taken by the employer or the District
Officer under the provisions of this Act, shall not be communicated
to the public and media in any manner. Further, the appellant
has no locus standi to file complaint on behalf of his wife. The
CIC accepted the submissions of the respondents. However, the
PIO was directed to pass a speaking order on appellant's RTI application.
Comments
In the cases of sexual harassment, the Supreme Court guidelines
issued under the Vishakha case have to be followed. The CIC has
preferred not to issue a notice to the third party under section
11 and has upheld the denial of information.
